Black Diamond Expedition Ski Poles

Built for big tours and variable terrain, the Black Diamond Expedition 3 is a fully adjustable, 3-piece aluminum ski pole designed for backcountry skiers who need versatility and packability. Dual FlickLock mechanisms make on-the-fly length adjustments quick and secure, while the 3-section design collapses small enough to stash easily in a pack when booting or traveling.

The redesigned grip features extended EVA foam for multiple hand positions, plus a straight-edge top for scraping snow and ice off skis. A rubber “beak” on the handle gives you quick leverage for binding and buckle adjustments on the skin track. Girth-hitched straps add security without bulk, and 100 mm powder baskets keep you afloat when the snow gets deep.

Durable yet lightweight, with proven Black Diamond simplicity, the Expedition 3 is an everyday backcountry workhorse—whether you’re touring, splitboarding, or heading out on multi-day traverses.
